ILLUSTRIOUS LAB – co-creation to generate innovative solutions with and through design and illustration ILLUSTRIOUS LAB is a dedicated research activity using a Design Driven Innovation approach. It builds as well on a dedicated approach around the potential of using co-creation to generate innovative solutions with and through design and illustration. This activity is organized as a Lab, a virtual laboratory that invites collaborators from different fields, such as sociology, ethnography, design, fashion, education, creativity, media, illustration and heritage as well as broader industries sectors and public authorities, to connect, co-create and develop concrete workshop models, publications and trainings (digital and physical). The Lab leads exploration and immersion activities, but also tests and simulations, imagining new concepts. It is also a new way to address critical issues and find new solutions.Main Projects / Activities
